Indeed,
television provides benefits for children. But if it is not restricted and
monitored, it is dangerous.
As
a parent, should be selected what TV show that kids watch and firmly linked to
how long children may watch TV.
In
some studies, watching TV also has a negative impact, particularly for physical
and mental health. Too much time watching TV in relation to:
Obesity
Problem
of overweight threatens children who watch TV more than two hours each day. Findings
from University College London also found that five year olds who get a few
extra hours to watch TV on weekends at risk of obesity later age of 30 years as
much as seven percent.
Another
study conducted by the Division of General Pediatrics and Stanford Center for
Disease Prevention Research found that watching TV causes obesity for several
reasons, including lack of physical activity, increased calorie consumption
while watching or caused by the effects of advertising and less resting
metabolism.
Irregular sleep
If
a child is watching TV more than two hours a day, especially at night, children
are more likely to suffer from irregular sleep patterns, issues and other sleep
disorders, such as nightmares and autism.
Behavior problems
Emotional
problems, social and attention are more likely to occur in children who watch
lots of TV. In addition, excessive TV watching is also associated with
violence, impaired academic performance and less time playing outdoors with
their peers.
Seeing your child Scenes of Violence, It's You Must
Do
Although
shown in a fictional cartoon, the effect could affect the mental and
psychological health of the child.
Who says cartoons are safe
for children?
Just look at Tom &
Jerry. Cartoon that tells the competition between cat and mouse scenes full of
violence.
Jerry
hitting Tom with a big hammer or Jerry gets revenge by burning down Tom's tail.
So
also with Spongebob Squarepants. The scene cuts or organ of the body-blows at
it too dangerous to be witnessed by the child.
Although
shown in a fictional cartoon, the effect could affect the mental and
psychological health of the child.
Limiting
television show for children is very important to protect the mental
development. But if you keep "cheated" by your child, there are some
things you can do.
1. Reprimand
When
children see violent scenes on television, the first thing you need to do is
reprimand and explained that what he witnessed a bad behavior and not something
to be emulated. If you neglect to tell the child, the child will regard it as
normal.
2. Only acting
Explain
to your child what they witnessed on television just a parts of acting and just
made up. If replicated, it can lead to bad things, such as injury or harm to
others. If there is a scene he had witnessed violence in cartoons, explain that
the movie character that witnessed only purely fictional.
3. Behind the scenes
To
show what kind of a movie is made, show the video behind the scenes of the
movie watching. It is intended that the child understands that the scene he saw
was made with special tricks in order to keep the players safe and not injured.
4. Explain the impact
Tell
the child what impact if he imitated scenes of violence on television. Explain
that the strike could make others sick and wounded, shot with a rifle can
eliminate life, and so forth.
5. Teach kindness
Teach
children kindness and do not drown in the things violent. Teach them that doing
well and rebuke in words its better than using physical violence. Children also
need to know that harm living things it does not good.
